I dunno sonictag, I'm just trying to follow the crits I get.
Here is a quote from another forums.
"No use to spend 1000's of polies on ridges when the rest of it looks squary. In this case I think it's justified to go to a 12-sided cylinder for the handgrips.
Looks cool tho, but 8 sides is too low, the thing is always seen ingame"
